Right.  But you could link to that page.  Or contact the author and
see if he could be willing to give it us under ALv2:

Actually, CC-BY stuff can be used, in some sense. http://www.apache.org/legal/resolved.html#category-a classifies it (under the name "CC-A") as a category A license, i.e., "similar in terms to the Apache License 2.0" and allows it to be "included within Apache products" provided a NOTICE file (or section?) is included.

But, as Rob suggested, getting the author to agree with relicensing under the very similar Apache License would be best. If we can't, I don't see problems in reusing this work so long as we include a notice crediting the author.
